FIFA Fever in Manhattan


I am sure there were a lot of people around the world in front of TV screens at home (or in a pub) last Sunday watching the World Cup final of France vs Italy.

Well needless to say, when the Italians won, celebration broke out around the world in Italian communities.



I happened to be around Little Italy in Manhattan right after the game and streets were closed off. There were massive celebrations with fans dressed in the winning blue uniform draped in green, white and red. Here are some actions from that afternoon.

1. Fans were very enthusiatic about getting on TV 2. The winner 3. The loser

4. Obviously making fun of the frechmen 5. Some Italy fans muses over the crying Frenchman
